    Apologies if this is the wrong forum but it seems fitting. Can anyone tell me if these are mass produced or was it just a one off item? I'd kill to get one of these! A girl I'm into rather likes Obama (like is a serious understatement) and it'd get her on my good side if I showed up with one of these puppies.

    Plus I'd love to have Obama battle a Bush action figure with light sabers.

    Absolutely love the little Famicom in the corner of one of the pictures near the bottom.

    EDIT: Apparently they are mass produced:

    All of those accessories and it doesn't even come with a Teleprompter. Truly that would be his most oft used item..

    Does the one on eBay come with the swords? If so, it would almost be worth the $70.

    Cool stuff. There's obviously a market for political action figures in Japan, I remember seeing a Kennedy and even a Hitler one too. Now we just need Mao, Nixon and M.L.King and the final animated battle between good and evil can begin! I'd create a shitload of gif-animations if I owned them all.^^

    That is pretty hilarious. I may have gotten one to mess with, if they weren't $70. The guy who took those pictures has a pretty good sense of humor, I'd say.

    As you and everyone else of course shouldn't be doing outside the 'unmoderated thread'.

    These really are cool though, regardless of who the politician is. Japan has a habit of doing stuff like this to political and historical figures and world-renowned celebrities in general.

    Too bad they don't have a McCain action figure, when he compared to Obama is a real live action hero.
